Book Overview
Newly revised in the light of the renewed debate of the last five years, this second edition of Patrick Morgan′s book is a comprehensive review of the logic and the practice of deterrence. Morgan highlights the difficulties involved in immediate deterrence, the use of threat to deter in a specific, immediate situation. He then explores the irrationality of the strategic options that general nuclear deterrence offers. He shows how differences in theories of how decisions are made alter views of how deterrence works -- and how an opponent will respond to threat. Finally, he considers a way of reducing our dependence on a policy that relies on the threat of nuclear weapons.
